One of the hardest questions to answer is a deceptively simple one: who are you? But this is precisely the question that “reminiscence” or “life review” therapies, which draw on autobiographical memory, looks to answer. It’s normal to think about our past or to relive memories in conversations with friends, but it is rare to do so in a considered, intentional way. In 2022, Jane Fonda spoke about conducting a life review after turning 60, telling Glamour , “it totally changed the way I thought about myself and about how I wanted to live the last third of my life”. But whether you’re 60 or 16, looking backwards can be a useful exercise in building purpose and meaning into your present and future. Credit: iStock What is reminiscence therapy? Reminiscence therapy is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of therapeutic approaches. Loading David Hallford, a senior lecturer at Deakin University’s School of Psychology, says most therapy, “either implicitly or explicitly draws on memory”. “But reminiscence therapy is particularly focused on retrieving, reflecting on and reframing experiences into our understanding of ourselves.” Broadly speaking, he says reminiscence focuses on specific themes, like relationships, loss or challenges faced. Life review, on the other hand, is about a more systematic approach to reflecting on experiences across a whole lifetime. And reminiscence is about more than just mapping the big beats in our lives. Sunil Bhar, a professor of psychology at Swinburne University of Technology, says: “It’s not simply about documenting things, like where someone lived or who they married, where they end up with what is essentially a resume of their life. “We’ve discovered that what’s therapeutic about going back over someone’s life is not what they did, but who they are .” Reminiscence, he says, can help people answer the tricky question of “who are you?” “The most common answer to [this question] is, ‘I am a student’, ‘I am a daughter’, ‘I’m a son’; you talk about yourself in terms of the roles that you played in your life,” he says. “So reminiscence is a way of getting to the values that have been driving those roles and those life decisions.” What are its benefits? Research on reminiscence therapy has focused mostly on its benefits for older people, where it’s been shown to improve things like depression and life satisfaction . For people with dementia, reminiscence therapy can help create a sense of agency and improve mental health and cognition. Research has also found it can lessen the effects of anxiety and depression and that it can improve quality of life for cancer patients . However, an emerging body of research shows that reflecting on our lives can be beneficial at any age. Hallford’s research focuses on the benefits of life review , particularly for young adults. He thinks a lack of research is partly for cultural reasons, where there is the “preconception of sitting around and thinking about the good old days as a task of older adulthood, when we are not necessarily completing as many big life tasks like getting our careers started or having kids”. But the benefits of reminiscence therapy in older adults are much the same for younger ones. Research has shown reminiscence therapy to improve levels of self-esteem , confidence, optimism and life satisfaction . One small study led by Hallford this year found guided recall and interpretation of autobiographical memories helped improve young adults’ self-perception and views of others. Used in clinical settings, it has also been shown to reduce depression and anxiety, where it’s often part of a program involving cognitive behaviour therapy. Three great questions to ask A question professor Sunil Bhar likes to ask in his practice is, tell me the story of your name . This simple question can be a gentle launching pad into the story of someone’s life – from their cultural heritage to their family history. Another good exercise, professor David Hallford says, is to talk about a time you overcame a challenge . “You’re not only disclosing and building a bond with someone else, but you’re also reinforcing and activating in your own mind this idea of what that means about yourself,” he says. Other prompts, Bhar suggests, can revolve around things that have been special to them, such as, tell me about a person in your life who has had an enduring effect on you? How it works Typically, reminiscence therapy is conducted by a psychologist, either in a group setting or one on one. To explore this kind of therapy, you can chat to your GP, counsellor or psychologist. Loading But you can still reap the benefits by reflecting on the past in a less structured way with friends or family. “There is a sense in the literature that maybe what is therapeutic about reminiscence therapy isn’t the outpouring of memories, but really it’s having someone listen,” says Bhar. “It brings the idea that what we’re really after is a human connection, and reminiscence is simply a way of eliciting that.” Hallford says journaling or voice recordings can help with this. It’s also common to use physical objects or music to prompt memories. Bhar says photographs can be a good starting point for talking about the past. So whether you’re spending the break alone or with friends or family, consider going through an old album, or talking about what matters to you most. It might help crystallise who you are.

New formation, some new faces, but the optimism has gone at Old Trafford By YASEEN ZAMAN Published: 22:32 GMT, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 22:32 GMT, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments Neal Maupay took to social media to poke fun at his parent club Everton after they suffered a 2-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The Frenchman joined the Toffees in August 2022 from Brighton and left this summer to join Marseille on loan. He is still contracted to Everton, but his deal at the Ligue 1 club lasts until the end of the season with an obligation to buy for £6million, rising to £10m if certain requirements are met. Despite this, Maupay is clearly content with his parent club's struggles this season, as Sean Dyche 's side lie just three points clear of the relegation zone in 16th place. Speaking on X, the striker said: 'Whenever I'm having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile.' Former boxer and Everton fan Tony Bellew took offence to the post, replying: 'P***k' Neal Maupay aimed multiple jibes at his parent club Everton after their 2-0 defeat on Sunday Ex-WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew is a life-long Everton fan and Merseyside native Bellew issued an x-rated response to Maupay after a cheeky dig towards his hometown club Bellew, the former WBC cruiserweight champion, is a Merseyside native and has even been paraded by his boyhood club during half-time at Goodison Park. In his boxing career, he entered the ring to the 'Theme from Z-Cars', the same song to which Everton enter the pitch at their home ground. Maupay's jibes did not stop at that one post, as he followed up by issuing a reply to a frustrated Everton fan. The fan wrote: 'Next time you play Everton you're going to get snapped. That will pipe you right down.' The forward responded, 'See you in the Championship next season!' before writing '*championship', implying that Everton will be relegated from the Premier League. During his time on Merseyside, Maupay scored just one goal in 32 games. His spell at Everton included a season-long loan to his former club Brentford in 2023-24, where he netted eight times in 31 games. This fiasco is not the first time the 28-year-old has trolled Everton on social media. Maupay gave a savage response to an Everton fan on X who was frustrated at his initial post The Frenchman has scored two goals in 12 games since moving to Marseille in the summer His woeful record in front of goal at Everton saw him net once in 32 games in all competitions Upon the public announcement of his move to Marseille in August, he posted a video of Andy Dufresne from the film The Shawshank Redemption online. The clip showed Dufresne celebrating his escape from prison, before ripping off his shirt as he screams in elation in the rain. Since moving back to his home country, Maupay has scored twice in 12 games. Roberto De Zerbi's side lie second in Ligue 1 and are in good shape to contend for a Champions League qualification spot for next season's competition.

Civilization 7 - Official Harriet Tubman Trailer
Suriname will distribute revenues from new oil and gas discoveries among its more than 600,000 citizens. The small South American country of Suriname plans to share revenues from newly discovered oil- and gasfields off its coast. After several discoveries of oil reserves by an offshore drilling project known as Block 58 from 2019 to 2023, President Chan Santokhi has unveiled an ambitious initiative called Royalties for Everyone” (RVI), aimed at ensuring that all Surinamese benefit from the wealth generated for the country, which experts value at about $10bn over the next 10 to 20 years. “The RVI instrument means that every Surinamese who lives in our country receives a savings note worth US$750 with an annual interest of 7 percent. The money will be paid out in the future from the royalty income of Block 58,” Santokhi said. Oil and gas production is to begin in 2028. The royalties programme is designed to distribute the anticipated profits from the nation’s natural resources directly to its citizens, marking a significant shift in the country’s economic policy and potentially transforming the lives of the Surinamese people. So how have the reserves been discovered, and how will the royalties scheme work? Where have the reserves been found? Block 58 is a large $10.5bn, deepwater oil and gas project situated off the coast of Suriname, which became a Dutch colonial post after the British traded it for New Amsterdam (now Manhattan, New York) in 1667. Despite gaining independence in 1975, Dutch remains the official language in Suriname. French energy giant TotalEnergies, which is working in a joint venture with the United States energy company Apache Corporation (APA Corp), is the project operator of Block 58. The venture aims to tap into a substantial oilfield 150km (nearly 100 miles) off the coast of Suriname that has the potential to produce up to 220,000 barrels of crude oil daily. Is Suriname the only country sharing oil wealth in this region with its citizens? No, and it is not the only country that has benefitted from offshore oil exploration in the region. Guyana, its neighbour, announced last month that hundreds of thousands of Guyanese citizens at home and abroad aged 18 and over will each receive cash payments of about 100,000 Guyanese dollars ($480). Irfaan Ali, Guyana’s president, said in a statement in October: “Over the past week, thousands of Guyanese have engaged me and members of my cabinet, providing extremely favourable feedback on the measures.” How was oil discovered off the coasts of Guyana and Suriname? Although much of Guyana’s and Suriname’s oil reserves have been found only within the past 10 years, early onshore exploration in the 1800s and 1900s found “oil seeps” – naturally occurring liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons – according to World Oil, a journal focusing on oil and gas exploration. These early oil seep discoveries were understood to be evidence of the existence of larger oil reserves and possible functioning petroleum and gas systems beneath them. In May 2015, ExxonMobil, a Texas-based multinational oil and gas corporation, and its partners made their first major oil find at the Liza-1 oil well, located in the Stabroek Block 193km (120 miles) off the coast of Guyana. Although early oil exploration in Suriname began in the 1930s, Suriname’s oil industry was not born until the first commercial discovery of oil in the Calcutta Field, located in the Saramacca District in northern Suriname in 1965 by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), a joint venture between Shell and ExxonMobil. With the founding of Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname NV in 1980, Suriname significantly enhanced its control over its state oil resources. While more recent exploration for oil and gas reserves began in the 2000s, TotalEnergies did not begin its operations in Block 58 until 2019. Will newfound oil wealth change economic prospects for Guyana and Suriname? Oil wealth has not always translated into economic wealth for nations with large oil and gas reserves. Santokhi told the AFP news agency that he was “quite aware of the oil curse”, also known as the “Dutch disease”, which had fallen on resource-rich countries such as Venezuela, Angola and Algeria – none of which has seen big uplifts for their economies despite a wealth of natural resources. Only Norway has managed to escape the curse – mostly by building a sovereign wealth fund also known as the Government Pension Fund to act as a buffer against the highs and lows of oil prices after one of the world’s largest oilfields was discovered off the Norwegian coast in 1969. Learning from this, Santokhi said, Suriname has set up a similar fund in expectation of the oil cash influx. According to the 2022 Suriname Poverty and Equity Assessment, conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the World Bank, the national poverty rate in Suriname is 17.5 percent. This is nearly double the average 9.2 percent of the global population (about 700 million people) currently living in extreme poverty. According to 2019 estimates from the World Bank, the poverty rate in Guyana is even more dire – at 48.4 percent, down from 60.9 percent in 2006, making it one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean and Latin America despite the oil boom there. Although Guyana possesses one of the world’s largest shares of oil per capita, almost half the population still lives on less than $5.50 a day, according to a 2021 USAID report, and has been hard hit by the global cost-of-living crisis in recent years. According to the report, “Guyana’s political instability raises concerns that the country is unprepared for its newfound wealth without a plan to manage the new revenue and equitably disburse the financial benefits.” Although poverty remains a challenge, the oil discoveries have lowered the poverty rate and opened the door for more state projects. In September, the government outlined plans to build a $1.9bn gas-to-energy project aimed at doubling energy output. “If you haven’t lived through what we lived through, you won’t understand what this mind-boggling growth means,” Guyanese media analyst and entrepreneur Alex Graham told The Guardian newspaper. Which other countries use wealth from natural resources to benefit citizens? In 2008, Mongolia established the Human Development Fund, which is responsible for distributing mining revenues to citizens via cash payouts. The programme was also designed to use revenues from state-owned coal and copper mining companies such as Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi and Erdenet Corp to fund social programmes, infrastructure projects and healthcare. According to a 2012 article from the Brookings Institution, a nonpartisan policy think tank based in Washington, DC, the Mongolian parliament mandated in 2011 that 805 billion tugriks (about $567m) from the fund be allocated to all citizens. This allocation was intended to cover health insurance costs and student tuition fees. Additionally, a cash payout of 21,000 tugriks (about $15) was made to each citizen. After the 2012 elections, however, the government implemented austerity measures to address Mongolia’s dire economic situation. It discontinued cash payouts and reverted to a more targeted approach, focusing solely on monthly payments for children. Due to structural inefficiencies in the Human Development Fund, it was eventually replaced in 2016 with the Fiscal Stability Fund, which focuses on stabilising the economy rather than distributing direct cash benefits. Botswana’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, the Pula Fund, was founded in 1993 to manage revenues from diamond exports. The fund underwent a significant restructuring in 1997 under the Bank of Botswana Act of 1996. The Pula Fund does not make direct payments to citizens. Its primary purpose is to cushion the economy against cyclical financial shocks. According to a 2023 estimate from GlobalData, a data analytics and consulting company, Botswana is the world’s second largest producer of diamonds and accounts for about 20 percent of global diamond production. But in 2023, Botswana exported $3.2bn in diamonds – a 31 percent drop from 2022’s exports. After independence in 1966, Botswana was the world’s second poorest country, but according to recent World Bank economic reports, it is now considered an upper middle income country with most of its growth driven by diamond exports. In the US, some states are heavily dependent on oil and gas revenues, and some have found ways to benefit citizens directly. Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend was established via a constitutional amendment shortly after oil production began in 1977 at the state’s petroleum reserve – the largest ever identified in North America. The oilfield is located in Prudhoe Bay in the North Slope region. The fund was set up to use revenues from oil production to make dividend payments to “current and future generations of Alaskans”. According to state officials, roughly 600,000 Alaskans are eligible for the dividend, worth $1,702 this year. In Alabama, 28 percent of revenues generated from the sale of oil and gas are transferred to the Alabama Capital Improvement Trust Fund. This state fund primarily pays for technology and infrastructure projects that include construction and renovation of roads, bridges and government buildings, all providing an influx of jobs for the state. In 1976, the Montana Coal Severance Tax Trust Fund was created through a voter-approved constitutional amendment. Half of it is funded by taxes on coal extraction revenues. The fund is responsible for job creation, school facility projects, new infrastructure and renewable energy projects.Western Michigan beats Eastern Michigan 26-18 to become bowl eligibleTax reforms will make it difficult for states to pay minimum wage — Zamfara Gov
